Times were tough in our household. My husband was out of work and there was no sign of anything 31 for him. In addition to going to nursing school full-time, I was working three part-time jobs 32 to put food on the table for our family of five.
After a rather 33 meal one night, I answered the ringing phone. With no 34 , a voice asked,“Do you need food? Come to my place and I can help you.” Directions followed and he hung up the phone.

阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and preparing for the worst, Australian adventurer Peter Seiter wrote a farewell note to his family, put it in a bottle and threw it overboard. With a sense of bad feeling he wrote: “The ocean has a personality of its own. The place can be such a peaceful environment to be in, yet it can be frightfully violent. I’ve experienced both.” Fearing he wouldn’t make it home, he placed the note -- dated June 11, 1998 -- in a wine bottle and covered the bottle.
“I included my geographical coordinates, so if anything happened to me, they’d know my last place when I threw the bottle into the ocean,” says Peter, who was then sailing from the Azores in Portugal to New York and knew the Atlantic could be dangerous. He also included some money with his message, asking whoever found it to use the money to post the letter to his family.
Seventeen days later he reached his destination, having survived the dangerous seas, but he assumed his message in the bottle had not -- until it was found on shore, 11 years later!
Recently, American woman Katherine Ginn and her friend came across the bottle on a deserted beach in the Bahamas. “Alongside it they’d found a life jacket and, assuming the worst, opened the bottle and spent 24 hours drying it out so they could read my story and write to my family as I requested,” says Peter, 44. “I couldn’t believe it -- that after all these years my bottle had turned up with its contents, still undamaged.”
Overjoyed, he wrote to the pair, saying he was alive and living in Australia with his family.
Katherine posted him his letter, money and some broken glass of his bottle placed in a tiny box as a special souvenir. These special items now share pride of place among photos of Peter’s Atlantic voyage. “I can’t express what this old letter means to me,” Peter says. “It gives me a sense of hope and belief. It’s something special to share with my children as they grow up.”
51. Why did Peter have the idea of a message bottle?
A. He missed his family very much then.
B. He hoped to share his experience with his family.
C. He regretted taking a risk on the ocean.
D. He thought he might lose his life on the voyage.
52. As for the survival of the message bottle, Peter ________.
A. felt very certain about it
B. thought it had little chance of reaching land
C. took a long time to search for it
D. wrote a letter to Katherine
53. What can be inferred about the message bottle according to Paragraph 3 and 4?
A. Katherine found it by chance on a crowded beach.
B. It was 11 years before they came across it at sea.
C. Perhaps there was water in it when Katherine found it.
D. Peter couldn’t believe more that it was not damaged.
54. From the passage, we can learn that ________.
A. this was Peter’s first voyage in the Atlantic
B. Peter spent eleven days in the Atlantic
C. without the life jacket, the bottle wouldn’t have survived
D. Katherine was a caring and careful person
B
It’s 4 am, and Danilo C. Dequina is already awake. Holding a flashlight and a bucket, he is walking in the pre-dawn darkness along the shore of Old Poblacion Beach in the town of Maitum, Sarangani, in the far south of the Philippines.
A few minutes later, he spots a patch of sand that appears to have been disturbed by a turtle. Dequina studies the area carefully, figuring out where the eggs have been buried, and then starts digging slowly. After clearing away several centimeters of sand, he uncovers a large group of eggs, roughly the size of ping-pong balls. He picks them up and puts them in the bucket.
Dequina carries the eggs to his hatchery (孵卵所), some 50 meters away from the seashore. The hatchery is really just a sandy patch of land under the coconut trees enclosed by a black fence. It is here that he buries the turtle eggs he has collected. Today, Dequina scoops a hole, puts the eggs in it, and covers them with sand. After 45 to 70 days, the eggs will hatch. Dequina will then carry the hatchlings to the shore, and release them into the sea. He admits to feeling sorrow as he sets the hatchlings free -- most are hunted down by natural predators, and just one percent survive to adulthood.
According to the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), eight species of sea turtles face extinction, including four that come to the shores of Sarangani to lay their eggs -- the Hawksbill, Olive Ridley, Loggerhead and Green Turtles.
After learning about their plight (困境), Dequina attended a DENR training session on turtle conservation and decided to take action. He helped the local government to set up the Pawikan Nesting Sanctuary next to his house in 2003.
The hatchery drew the attention of the locals. “They started to change their attitudes towards sea turtles,” 52-year-old Dequina says. “If they see turtle eggs, they will either bring them to me or inform me of the nesting places.” Over the past ten years, more than 3,000 hatchlings have been released to the ocean.
55. Dequina walks along the shore to ________.
A. release small turtles
B. bury turtle eggs deeper
C. look for newly laid turtle eggs
D. clear away trash from the seaside
56. When Dequina finds turtle eggs along the shore, he will ________.
A. put them into the sea instantly
B. just bury them
C. pick them up and put them in the bucket
D. take them and go to his house
57. What is the attitude of local people toward Dequina’s efforts?
A. Doubtful. B. Disappointed. C. Opposed. D. Supportive.
58. What do we learn from the passage?
A. Dequina feels sad when he releases hatchlings.
B. Dequina has worked for the hatchery for six years.
C. The hatchery is far from Dequina’s house.
D. The hatchery mainly protects injured turtles.
